Esprit de Parenchere Bordeaux Superieur 2020

Esprit de Parenchère is the Château’s exceptional cuvée, and is the quintessential expression of the Parenchère terroir. Produced in very limited quantities, this blend is made only on the very great vintages. The grapes for Esprit come from vines that are 50 years old with very low yields, representing the three best plots of the estate. The vines are planted on chalky clay soils, on the estate’s best exposed plots and solely on hillsides so that rainwater drains away naturally. This is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. Bright dark inky color. Pure and ripe nose offering some roasted new oak, smoky notes, violet and crushed dark berries. Very glossy and polished palate with great freshness, intense and ripe tannin, layers of dark fruit, integrated oak and a long dense finish.
